The Nomad Farm: Live, Volunteer & Learn in the Nature

We own a cute little farm in Northern Portugal less than 1 hour from Porto. It’s a nice and quiet place, with lots of outdoor area, gardens and nature to explore around. The beach is 20 minutes away and there is a town 10 minutes away (Barcelos).

It’s the perfect place to work outdoor, create your own projects and work online. The farm was abandoned for over 20 years and we have rebuild it in the last 2 years and turned it into a living place where everyone can have time to focus on their personal projects while living in a family environment and helping each-other in personal and professional projects.

This year we are opening a few volunteer positions where different people from different backgrounds can come together to help on the farm and work on their personal projects.

• Free accommodation: you will have your own private room
• Free Bills: Water, Gas, Internet and Electricity is on us
• Free Meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner is on us

What kind of tasks?

• Cooking

• Painting and improving the house
